State of emergency declared for 9 OK counties due to storms, flood

Source: State of Oklahoma Governor’s Office
Oklahoma Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb June 14 declared a state of emergency for 9 counties due to flooding, severe storms and straight-line winds that began Saturday. To read the executive order, click here.
The counties covered in the declaration are: Caddo, Carter, Comanche, Cotton, Garvin, Grady, McClain, Murray and Stephens.
The declaration can be amended to add additional counties if conditions warrant.
Since Saturday, these Oklahoma counties have experienced flooding, severe storms and straight-line winds. Initial reports show damage in numerous communities including Apache, Cyril, Lawton, Maysville and Walters. Further damage assessments are ongoing.
The executive order allows state agencies to make emergency purchases related to disaster relief and preparedness. It is also the first step toward seeking federal aid should it be necessary.
Under the executive order, the state of emergency lasts for 30 days.
